# documentation

    After watching this happen a few times, and now just recently to a friend
    of mine, I'd like to say a few things.

    It is one thing to be helpful, and it is another thing to be a spiteful
    asshole when sending someone an answer to a question asked on this list.

    helpful:  Here is the answer to your question.  or: here is where you can
    find the answer to the question you asked.

    being rude:  Here is a section of your signature that tells me you are a
    moo wizard...you call yourself a wizard and you don't know this?
    Everyone knows that here THIS is the way to do it..sheesh.

    Granted, there is a lot of repeat questions that get sent to this list.
    But it does nothing to foster any sense of community or cooperation
    to just rant on about it...anyone who has ever read usenet knows the
    problem isn't going to go away soon.

    What MIGHT be helpful is if all of the MOO documentation were in one
    location.  Right now it is spread out all over the net and unless a
    person has access to something like altavista or some search engine to
    find everything, they are left to ask their question here.  Is there any
    chance that someone would be willing to donate part of their resources to
    host all of the FAQ's (there are two, neh?), the prog manuals (yes, I
    know they are at parc) and perhaps the archives as well and any of the
    other things people have put together concerning MOO (for instance the
    VERY helpful list of stock core security holes etc)?

    I will hopefully have most of this up on RiverMOO's web "stuff" when we
    get done revamping it, but if someone has a better alternative, it might
    be worth the time to put it together and save the all so short tempers on
    this list apparent frustration.
